Albert Cohen lecteur de Proust : Une écriture juive de la jalousie

Abstract

The present article examines the role of jealousy in the fictional and essayistic writings of Jewish author Albert Cohen. Its intention is to consider jealousy across genre boundaries as one of the main themes in Cohen’s work which reflects an aesthetic juxtaposition of two major sources of influence within the specific context of the twentieth century: Jewish heritage and identity as well as Proust’s poetics of love.
